Perfect Punch! Now you can punch pretty shapes quickly, easily, and effortlessly. This geared punch from Tonic can create beautiful butterflies fast and easy, just with a simple push of the lever. Clever gears inside the punch help leverage more force onto the punch, cutting through paper, cardstock and lightweight metal with very little effort on your part. The rubberized feet help keep the punch in place during punching and the locking mechanism makes storing the punch simple.

Space the punched designs across the edge of your paper or cardstock to create a pretty border on cards, scrapbook pages, tags, and much more, or use the punched image as a small accent! Leave them as is or pop up the wings so they flutter across the page. Punched image is about ¾" wide.

I use a LOT of punches (and dies, and embellishments, etc.) in my card designs. Butterflies are always popular, and I like having a variety of shapes and sizes to play with when I'm putting a card together. This is a "fully formed" butterfly, complete with antennae, about 3/4" wide by 5/8" tall.

This one has it all. It's extremely well made and sturdy. I've tried it with everything from fairly lightweight designer patterned paper to heavy card stock, and it cuts smoothly and easily through all. The key is in the "gear" mechanism that keeps things aligned properly, and means that the punch retracts smoothly after punching. There's a lock (that white "tab" in the photo) that keeps the lever down for easier storage.

On the bottom, there's a little round plastic "trap door" that keeps the punched piece from escaping across the table. However, if you need to see precisely what/where you're punching, you can open the door fully and click it into "open" position -- a very nice touch! It also has 4 small rubber feet that will keep it from slipping when used flat on a table or desk.

I'm very impressed with this.

I love the Tonic geared butterfly punch. It is easy to use and it makes a clean cut. My only complaint is that I thought it was a larger punch than it actualy is.

I just got a moment to play with this punch. I really wasn't planning on buying this but it came with a special grouping so I thought why not for that price? It is awesome~ slices like butter even through card stock (and I mean heavy-like packaging. When I used it on acetate (have gotten regular punches stuck when I was a newbie and didn't know any better) it started to stick but with the gears it will then go further and doesn't stick at all...Another great product by tonic. I have the system and didn't really want to get other separate items but these are truly fantastic....Did I say stupendous as well? Well they are!
